Philip quickly searched for this person's background on the internet.
The Army Commander who spoke was called Justin, a Mage Super. The 'Expeditionary' Army was a large mercenary group from a certain Star System in the Colton Star Cluster. They were called over by the Purple Gold Army.
The top mercenary groups in the Shattered Star Ring had their own circle. Han Xiao had paid special attention to the various famous armies and had never interacted with the Expeditionary Army before.
As the Field Team of Floating Dragon, Black Star had a place in this circle thanks to the Dragon Emperor. Justin had also heard of Black Star 'name and knew that while this was a small mercenary group, its status was special.
Other large mercenary groups were willing to rope in Black Star to curry favor with Floating Dragon, but he was not interested. In the mercenary world, he had seen everything. So what if the Dragon Emperor was strong? Justin felt that their business was different. He did not want to provoke the Dragon Emperor, so he was too lazy to have anything to do with her.
To him, Han Xiao was just someone he had heard of before. Justin did not have any prejudice against Han Xiao, but he could not help but question the scale of Black Star.
Black Star might have a lot of connections, but this was a war-level employment, and the risk was huge. As a veteran mercenary, Justin was concerned about whether his companions had the ability to fight alongside him.
If a fake came and caused the collapse of one battle line, it would affect the entire battle situation.
In Justin's eyes, Black Star was just a fake who was there to join in the fun. Every one of them had to take up a part of the tactical mission, and what kind of responsibility could Black Star take up with so few people? Their reward was earned by risking their lives. If Black Star could get the reward by hiding behind the scenes, he would not be happy.
"We are about to participate in a war," Justin said with a deep voice. "Every army here has invested hundreds of battleships and tens of thousands of mercenaries. How many troops can you take out?"
The ten or so Army Commanders looked at Justin and then at Han Xiao, who was still standing, but did not say anything.
No one knew that the upcoming battle was started by Han Xiao. Due to the lack of information, Han Xiao's arrival had indeed caused some of the commanders to think that Black Star was here to use his connections to get a wave of war employment rewards.
Although they didn't say it out loud, they all had the same guess in their hearts.
"General Justin, your doubts are very reasonable. I understand your confusion."
Han Xiao's expression did not change. Everyone present was a respectable person of status. It was not inappropriate to raise any doubts in front of them.
Coincidentally, he was prepared to refresh the understanding of the Black Star Corps in these Army Commanders. Since they were going to fight side by side, he had to display his strength to reassure them.
"Your understanding of me is still stuck in the past. Our Black Star Corps has greatly expanded. Now, the Black Star Corps has hundreds of thousands of mercenaries, and all of them have C-grade strength."
"A few hundred thousand Supers?"
Justin's eyes suddenly widened, and the other army commanders were shocked.
Even they were terrified by this scale.
Not long ago, the Black Star Corps was just a small mercenary group. How did it suddenly expand?
Many people were doubtful. Han Xiao told Philip to open the registration file of the Black Star Corps and show the actual number of members. Everyone's doubts were instantly dispelled, and they swallowed their words.
Justin also had nothing to say. With so many people, they were indeed qualified to participate in the war.
This time, Han Xiao glanced around, and his lips curled up. "Everyone knows that I have some Immortals under me, right?"
Everyone nodded. It was no secret that Black Star had dozens of Immortals.
Han Xiao smiled. "These hundreds of thousands of people are all Immortals."
Instantly.
The hall became quiet.
"They are all Immortals?"
Gureja suddenly stood up and broke the silence in disbelief.
The dozen or so Army Commanders regained their senses, and their expressions changed drastically.
Everyone understood the meaning behind this. This meant that these hundreds of thousands of mercenaries would not be lost, and the Black Star Corps would always maintain a large scale. They could carry out some extremely dangerous missions without any hesitation, and they would not have to worry about casualties or compensation!
This was the kind of member that they yearned for day and night!
A few hundred thousand low-grade Supers were enough to raise a mercenary group to the top. If these people were all Immortals, they could imagine how big of an uproar it would cause in the entire mercenary world.
They would be the best cannon … pfft, collaborators!
Many people thought of Han Xiao's other identity.
The Black Star Corps … was also Floating Dragon's Field Team.
These hundreds of thousands of Immortals were the strength of Floating Dragon after its expansion!
Justin was dumbfounded. Suddenly, he heard Han Xiao's voice.
"Army Commander Justin, these are the troops that I have sent into this war. Are you satisfied?" Han Xiao shrugged.
Justin's mouth twitched, and he was speechless.
"Or do you have doubts about my personal strength? If you have doubts, we can spar. " Han Xiao raised his brows. He was not angry about Justin's doubts, but since he wanted to show his strength, he had to be firm.
Gureja coughed and hurriedly tried to smooth things over. "Black Star recently defeated three Calamity Grades and even took the hit of the main cannon. The news might be exaggerated, but I believe that most of it is true. Black Star, no one here will doubt your personal strength."
Justin stood up with a serious expression. His height was only up to Han Xiao's waist. He extended his hand toward the sofa and gestured for Han Xiao to take a seat.
"I apologize for my doubts earlier. Please take a seat."
Earlier, when Han Xiao was about to sit down, he had interrupted Han Xiao. Now that he saw the new face of the Black Star Corps, Justin was not a petty person. He admitted his mistake and took the initiative to invite Han Xiao to take a seat, giving him enough respect.
The moment Justin admitted his mistake, the other Army Commanders also nodded in agreement. The atmosphere in the hall relaxed, and the atmosphere became lively.
Only then did Han Xiao sit beside Underworld Feather. Herlous and the other officers stood behind him.
At this moment, Underworld Feather casually handed over a bag of snacks.
"Do you want to eat?"
"What's this?" Han Xiao glanced at the bag. It was filled with a pile of black jerky.
"Lizard jerky. I made it myself." Underworld Feather raised her brows.
Han Xiao hesitated for a moment. He picked up a piece of jerky and placed it in his mouth. The taste was actually not bad. He asked curiously, "What kind of lizard is this made of?"
"Last time, I did a mission and killed an entire lizardman tribe." Underworld Feather grabbed a handful of jerky and placed it in her mouth.
Han Xiao silently put down the second piece of jerky that he had just picked up.
Too ferocious. I can't take it anymore.
Underworld Feather was a female Dark Elf. Her appearance was very similar to that of the Dark Elves. She had large breasts and perky buttocks. She looked very seductive, like a lazy cheetah. She had inherited the cold-blooded and cruel personality of the Dark Elves. Although she looked seductive, no one present dared to underestimate her.
She was a tyrant. The Underworld Army that she led had a civilization background. The owner behind it was a Star System civilization in the Colton Star Cluster that was ruled by the Elves.
In the universe, the Elves were also known as the Long Ears Race. They were good at listening to the sounds of nature. They had many different bloodlines, such as the Children of the Forest, the High Elves, the Dark Elves, and so on. The Elves were not very common in the galaxy, but they were not rare either.
This kind of large army that was semi-official in nature was very easy to understand. Due to the treaty between civilizations, the movements of the official army were very sensitive. However, private armies that were supported privately had more freedom. The mercenary group business was just a disguise, and they secretly completed some difficult missions for the civilization.
Many civilizations would secretly cultivate such private armies. In the top mercenary groups of the Shattered Star Ring, there were many examples. Even Han Xiao's Black Star Corps was nominally part of Floating Dragon's armed forces.
The higher one climbed in the galaxy, the more complicated the relationships would be. The universe was too big, and it was not something that a single individual or organization could occupy.
Gureja was in charge of the pre-battle meeting. Everyone discussed their respective missions, such as who would be attacking, who would be suppressing, who would be attacking head-on, and so on. Han Xiao did not interrupt.
"Black Star, which aspect are you going to be in charge of?" someone asked.
Han Xiao thought for a while and said, "If there's a contact battle, leave it to us."
He did not want to participate in a spaceship battle at all. It was not worth it at all. Furthermore, he only had about twenty spaceships at the moment. Their combat power was limited, and they were mainly used to transport people.
Anyway, the players were not afraid of death, and it was perfect for dealing with the warriors of Dark-star.
After discussing for a while and confirming the responsibilities of the various armies, the various Army Commanders dispersed.
Sitting in the Blacklight Stealth, Han Xiao looked out the porthole. More than twenty spaceships were following the alliance fleet in the galaxy, and there were hundreds of thousands of players on these spaceships.
The players had just entered the galaxy, and everything was new to them. However, Han Xiao was clear that if they successfully got rid of Dark-star, many of the subsequent quests would disappear.
In his previous life, the Blue Star players had either joined Godora or Dark-star. After entering the galaxy, both sides had been at odds with each other. Now, this situation had been broken by him. To the players, it was equivalent to them not having this Main Storyline.
From Han Xiao's point of view, eliminating the threat of Dark-star was more important.
The storyline between Dark-star and Godora has been replaced by me. To the players, joining the Black Star Corps has become the current Main Storyline. This is the best time to build a sense of belonging to the faction. I need to use the players to expand my influence and let them feel honored. Therefore, I need some big events to add achievements to the Black Star Corps and let the players feel that this is their own achievement. This attack on Dark-star can be the beginning …
Han Xiao thought to himself. He was very concerned about the players' feelings. The accumulation in Version 2.0 was very important, and it could be said that it was the stage to build a solid foundation.
The players were his focus in Version 2.0, as the next version would take more than ten years. Although it was still a long time before the end of Version 2.0, Han Xiao was used to making preparations early.
However, he still had to deal with the upcoming counterattack first.
Opening his communicator, Han Xiao looked at the message sent by Risda.
Dark-star's forces were scattered in different regions of the Garton Star System, and the largest force had gathered six motherships. It was possible that they were planning another attack, while the other motherships were drifting alone in the universe.
If he was not wrong, the six motherships should be the main battlefield that the mercenaries would be participating in.
The war was about to begin.
…
At the same time, on a certain Dark-star mothership.
Degulish and the others held another meeting to discuss their next step. This time, their leader had given the order to attack the Rainbow Prison.
The previous two operations had failed, and they had not been able to increase Godora's losses or kill Black Star. Before finding a way to kill Black Star, Dark-star had decided not to touch the calamity planets for the time being. They had decided to take the opportunity to attack the Rainbow Prison and save their former comrades. There were a few Calamity Grade Supers among them, so as to replenish their manpower.
Dark-star's actions were unrestrained. Godora was in the light, while they were in the dark. This was the reason why Dark-star had the confidence to attack again and again.
However, Dark-star did not know that they had already lost their advantage of being hidden. Their location had been exposed by Han Xiao, and a calamity was brewing for Dark-star without warning. They did not know about it at all.
Degulish and the others were discussing the next plan of action when Ashes suddenly frowned and pressed on his chest.
For some reason, he suddenly felt uneasy.
